Poll: How Happy Are You Being Single?
- Thread starter Jacco
- Start date
Well, being single has its pros and cons.
You can focus on your work more, but at the same time, you have no one to focus on, on your spare time.
You will have more money as being in a relationship can be costly, but you'll have no one to share it with.
When you laugh, there's no one to hear. When you cry, there's no one to comfort you. If you want sex, you've only got one option, and that is fapping. (Or rubbing if you are of the opposite sex)
Whichever is more important should decide whether you're happier being single than being in a relationship.Currently I'm single, but that is nothing I can work on; I am charming, handsome and intelligent, but you don't see any line of women queuing after me; nor could I ever make one on my own. The only people I've actually felt connection to have been across the Internet, and that never works out; unless you're that smug couple on the newspaper with the headlines of "LOVE CONQUERS EVERYTHING!" (Personally I just want to beat them in the face)
It would be nice if I could have a significant other to share my awesomeness with, but that is not to be. So, I am left to my own demises, and so far I have improved, improved and improved myself with a lot of challenges, turning me into a greater person; something I could never had achieved, or even noticed the potential, had I been in a relationship.

It's more that I'm reserved to the fact I'd most likely make a terrible boyfriend, so I'm not even bothering.
I'm genuinely happy being single. I don't want a relationship unless it'll be a quality one, and at 17 my work is probably a wiser investment. I'm also aesexual, so physical intimacy isn't something I'm missing.
*shruug* there are exceptions to every rule (I dont mean that in a special snowflake in anyway, Im hardly that) feminine "Ideas" have just always baffled meSlayer_2 said:
and yeah, good Adjustment..though I think guys can be "bitches" somtimes as well
Of course I've met a few girls that try to play the "not interested in mushy crap" card, usually it's just a poor bluff, though. Most of the time there is some guy they want, but he's too oblivious (or, rarely, not interested).Vault101 said:*shruug* there are exceptions to every rule (I dont mean that in a special snowflake in anyway, Im hardly that) feminine "Ideas" have just always baffled meSlayer_2 said:

I'm not that creative, it's an actual song, gave me a laugh. Guys can be bitches, but usually in gangster rap, "*****" is the term for "female"

In my opinion crab legs are pretty over rated.
If by crab legs you mean relationships.
I don't like "playing" dating. Because dating is a game, and I can prove it. On my first date the first thing the girl said to me was "You didn't shave?" and I said "You don't like my beard?" she said "That's not the point." So dating has arbitrary rules that are independent of human emotion (Like the guy always pays and you compliment her shoes and such)
But I have a lot of female friends. (Yes actual female friends) Upon reflection,knowing that it is possible for a girl to act like a real living breathing human being with feelings and empathy while they are around a guy is probably why I can't put up with the psychotic ***** form women take when they get in relationships (Disclaimer: I am not talking about you so shut up) So I'm pretty happy being single.

interesting, perhaps I just havnt met the kind of guy to "bring out the romantic within"..but then again I think still dont like it (again holding hands/public displays of affection, it feels so exhibitionist..and I just dont like holding hands...my last relationship was almost a hilarious role-reversal when it came to the romantic stuff)Slayer_2 said:Of course I've met a few girls that try to play the "not interested in mushy crap" card, usually it's just a poor bluff, though.

anyway yes, I have played fallout 3...and yes again I did play it on the PC...good game
I was quite happy when I was single, probably because I'd never been in a relationship before, but I was happy. I'm not sure how differently I would feel if my boyfriend and I ever broke up. Maybe I would be a bit less happy about it because I'm a lot happier now when I'm in a relationship and i would know what I'm missing. Not to say i would be in a relationship for the sake of it, just so that I'm not single. The person I'm dating would have to make me happy about being in a relationship.
Yeah, I suspect I've met the girl that might get me to retry relationships (my previous two have been huge fails, since I gave them less attention than my friends). I still refuse to degrade myself by looking like a mushy pansy, though. Even if I get back in the game, I'm gonna reserve some dignity.Vault101 said:interesting, perhaps I just havnt met the kind of guy to "bring out the romantic within"..but then again I think still dont like it (again holding hands/public displays of affection, it feels so exhibitionist..and I just dont like holding hands...my last relationship was almost a hilarious role-reversal when it came to the romantic stuff)Slayer_2 said:Of course I've met a few girls that try to play the "not interested in mushy crap" card, usually it's just a poor bluff, though.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. (Applies to most multiplayer shooter games.)
You ever run any mods?
I said "unhappy," but that's not necessarily how I feel about being single in general, it's just that I'm currently so close (and yet so far) to being in a relationship with someone I really like, so I'm obvious pretty unhappy about not being in said relationship.
I'd probably vote unhappy anyway, though. I need the companionship.

This is why I've never "dated," even though I've been in three relatively long-term relationships. I only date people I get to know decently well first and every time its just sort of gone, "Well we want to be in a relationship now, right?" without any sort of "first date." And they've never get away with not paying their half =PMikeyfell said:

this might sound strange but no, I dont have much interest in mods, (not only because I havnt quite worked them out) but because I figure Vanilla game should be enough for me, and thease days its not often I have nothing to play so I move on to the next
